Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ed,

Your last words just saved my soul. My situation is i
am currently working saudi arabia as an expat, basicly
i am Turkish. here there is not much opportunutiy to
find what you want. I live in jeddah the most popular
city but could get only two dealer mostly selling
keyboards and have not more than 2 available drumkit.
also they are on snowcase not in box. I will probably
bargain for e drum i have seen on showcase. But most
important issue is how can i understand that this set
is dtxpressII or not. Is there any remarks on
componenets. I dot belive the seller as much as their
lack of english. this is a very silly situation. 
no chance to buy it from internet because here s so
strict customs that the package may not enter the
country. Your kind advice.

Baris
